This is structurally like a Thema species (Oecophoridae, Chezala grp), but I haven't matched the wing pattern

It was very small - only about 7 mm in length.

I'm going to call it Thema sp, although I definitely can't match it to any other specimens in the genus. it may turn out to be something quite different. it would be very good to capture a specimen if you see it again.
